[@muffinkitty6904]

I love how Matpat 100% knew that there was going to be a jumpscare in the intro clip and still got scared by it. 🤣

[@Pizzzzzzzzzzzzzzab]

Well, that's something that makes a jumpscare scary, knowing that it's going to come, but sometimes not knowing when! It can really increase anxiety and make it pretty scary sometimes, take FNAF for example, let's say FNAF 2, you know that you are about to get killed by withered bonnie, but it's still scary!

[@yso8701]

If you like puzzles like this, you should play "Viewfinder". It's the same style where you place pictures too but, minus the horror. It's a sci-fi theme and got an amazing graphics!

[@boazray608]

i think that this copied viewfinder, because the mechanics are almost exactly the same and even the camera animation, but one has a clear, concrete story while this one has no voice acting and limited colors Edit: i just found out that this took inspiration from viewfinder so..

[@tachiu18]

​@@boazray608yeah it says on the download page this was just an experiment to try and replicate the mechanics and was heavily inspired as you found out, i dont think it was malicious as this game is free and blatantly states it was based off viewfinder even though mat didnt know while playing

I'm honestly really sad that it's the mascot games that do so well. A while back you started to play Rusty Lake and I am still hoping you'll pick it up again. The overarching storyline between the games is really great.

[@chloesibilla8199]

Oh my gosh rusty lake was my whole childhood!!

[@randomuser5795]

In context to the content list... Mat should definitely check out the 'Magnus Archives'. A new series is up and coming, so going through the old one would be a good opportunity. There's soo much Lore! ( This is definitely not a joke about how late Mat is to cover series ;0 )

[@jeffreythomas3080]

I could always do with more tma content in my life! I would love to see what type of theory mat could come up with about it (especially since it has a huge community already)

Cult of the lamb would be fantastic! I'm also a HUGE fan of anything SCP.

[@FearTheBuildingBrick]

Doesn't Killer Frequency already tell you the whole lore if you explore the office enough without having to theorise? Or am I just thinking of a different game?

You should play Viewfinder, which I believe this game was based on. It has some super cool puzzles and mechanics.

Viewfinder is the original source. KenForest even mentioned it in the note for anyone to read it and check it out. But, it felt like some people didn't all read it. It kinda concerns me that an original source didn't seem to get as much attention as a game with copied and experimented mechanics.

[@WrenGirl]

Matpat has GOT to play viewfinder, the game that inspired this one.

I wonder if you can take pictures of the film canisters to make infinite film. Seems like it should work, so long as the original isn't overwritten, it can be photo graphed and a room could be infinitely expanded to keep taking pictures of film, posting pictures of film in newly created space from earlier photos.

Oh my goodness, MatPat completely failing to understand the room at around 23 minutes was infuriating. If you're looking up and the room is upside down, then it becomes right-side up when pointed downwards! And again at 26 minutes, all he had to do was rotate and position, not try creating a bridge, instantly knew what was going on there. 4 minutes to figure out a 20 second puzzle. I don't get how someone who's so capable of looking for hidden details struggles with this stuff. DX

⚠️GAME SUGGESTION⚠️: Suggestion: The Pathless by Giant Squid. It's an awesome game that actually faintly resembles Shadow of the Colossus (at least for me), and I think it would be a really cool game for you to try to find lore in. It's not a horror game (unless you're afraid of conflict like me-) but there is definitely a final boss and it's definitely got quite a bit of lore. It's also not too terribly long, which is great. ^^ At the very least, if you decide not to play it, can you please send it to Markiplier and/or Jacksepticeye (preferably Jack)? I think they would really like it. (Ps: I hope you like how I started this comment - I wanted it to be eye catching and a bit funny because it's a bit of a strange choice of emojis.

[@gabeclement1131]

Well... A liminal space is a space that's not a destination itself, but rather a transition between specific destinations... Everyone here already knew that, but I think the reminder can inform our definition of liminal animatronic; So that would be an animatronic with no defined complete state. Perhaps a twisting mesh of overlapping mechanisms, as function after function are added... I feel like that could be used as a mechanical alternative to a game about venturing deeper into the flesh of some cosmic horror... Like, started building a mansion, and then automating every single part of it, to the point of insanity. Needing more room, they started building sub-basements under their property, and filling them with endless rooms and hallways, which are themselves automated down to the carpet cleaning. The rooms move around too, because the walls, ceiling, and floor, need to have some function, and it's it just more convenient if the rooms you want line up in the way you want, every time? At a certain point, the overlapping technology could start to warp the fabric of space around it, allowing for infinite sub-levels.
